bills to make it harder for unions to do their work were alec bills. bills to basically block climate change agreements, those were alec bills. when i looked at them, i was really shocked. i didn't know how incredibly extensive and deep and far-reaching this effort to rework our laws was. >> she and her team began to plow through alec documents, as well as public sources, to compile a list of the organizations and people who were or had been alec members. they found hundreds of corporations, from coca-cola and koch industries to exxon mobil, pfizer, and wal-mart, dozens of right-wing think tanks and foundations, two dozen corporate law firms and lobbying firms, and some thousand state legislators, a few of them democrats, the majority of them republican. >> alec is a corporate dating service for lonely legislators and corporate special interests that eventually the relationship culminates with some special interest legislation and hopefully that lives happily ever after as the alec model. unfortunately what's excluded from that equation is the public.

it obscures the fact of how wealthy the unions are. from the city journal article, in the last decade, the teachers unions spent more on politics in the last decade than the oil industry and the pharmaceutical industry and the tobacco industry combined. >> greta: don't they worry with the bad situation economically in california, and they're in a really tough situation, don't you think they worry that in 2011 they were 5400 who have pensions of over $100,000, if you look at the numbers and everything else that's going on in the state, i mean, it is in such deep trouble, wouldn't you think they would be terrified that they're running people out of the state and losing any tax base? of course, they did just recently vote to raise taxes. >> look at what happened in wisconsin. it's not as if public sector unions said oh, gosh, we should just take these reforms and not roprotest. it was a fight to the death in wisconsin. >> greta: even that was a push. a negotiated settlement where it works with both sides is the best way to do it. >> that'

for example, the european union is looking to current u.s. law as a model for its own accessibility initiatives. in january 2011, the vice president talked about european accessibility act, citing progress made in the united states under the provisions of the americans with disabilities act of 1990, which i was proud to support. they believe that the eu should learn from this experience and go ahead in europe to do the same. the convention supporters also erroneously contend that the united states ratification would result in benefits for americans with disabilities who choose to live or travel or work abroad. they assert that it will allow the united states to have influence over disability rights, in such areas as employment or accessibility among other states that are part of the crpd. to be sure, americans with disabilities face erie's challenge is when they travel abroad, precisely because those nations laws are not as supportive as those in the united states. the man i spoke of just a moment ago. but it is the example that we have set f

it was also stated they wanted to leave because they were so oppressed in the soviet union. it was actually stated in global terms at that time and maybe sometime we'll come back and do that. i remember what sharansky said about the day on which in solitaire confinement somebody was able to convey to him by tapping pipes and the rest that president reagan had called russia and the soviet union really "the evil empire." and that the leader of the free world, the most powerful person in the world, would call out this oppressive government that had locked him up for no reason than that he had advocated for human rights would say this, success staininged his hope. and in some -- sustained his hope. and in some small way, i hope that the passage of this magnitsky act will do the same for those who are fighting for their freedom, for the many people whose freedom has already been compromised by the government in russia, for people whose freedom of expression has been compromised, for business people whose businesses have been essentially taken by the government. one of the great d
